 This section describes the Regions, [cost](cost.md), [security](security-1.md), [quota](quotas.md), and other considerations before deploying the Guidance. 

## Supported AWS Regions
<a name="supported-aws-regions"></a>

 This Guidance uses AWS services that are not currently available in all AWS Regions. For the most current availability of AWS services by Region, see the [AWS Regional Services List](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/). 

**Note**  
This Guidance launches in the US East (Ohio) Region by default. To launch the Guidance in a different AWS Region, use the Region selector in the console navigation bar. See [Step 1: Launch the stack](step-1-launch-the-stack.md) for more information.
